As we learnt ,

 

If r = R for both cylinder -

E_{surface}=\frac{\lambda }{2\lambda \varepsilon _{0}R}

V_{surface}=\frac{-\lambda }{2\lambda \varepsilon _{0}}\log_{e}R+c

 

- wherein

\lambda - Linear charge density.

 

 as r = R

E = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi\epsilon _ {o}r } \; \Rightarrow \; E = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi\epsilon _ {o}r } \times \frac{2}{2}

 

E =\frac{2\lambda K}{R} = \frac{2 \times 3.5 \times 10 ^{-2} \times 9 \times 10^{9}}{5 \times 10 ^{-2}}
